Title: Garden Shears
Inventor: BATES PAUL ANTHONY
IPC: A01G3/025
Filed: 2002-05-08
Abstract: The invention relates to a garden tool and in particular to so-called edging shears (1, fig 1) for cutting the edges of a lawned or grassed area. Hitherto, edging shears (1, fig 1) have had pivotal handles 2,3 with cooperating blades 4,5, opening and closing the handles 2,3 causing both blades 4,5 to pivot to open and closed positions. Pivotal movement of the lower blade frequently causes ground contact, to limit the degree of opening of the blades 4,5 or to cause the shears to lift, making edge cutting difficult or practically impossible. This difficulty is avoided by a construction of garden tool with a pair of handles 2,3 each pivotally located on a support plate 6, the handles 2,3 each having facing and meshing gear tooth sectors 8,9 of the same first full diameter, one handle 3 having a second gear tooth sector 9 lying substantially at 90{ to the first sector 8 and having a larger second full diameter, the second gear tooth sector 9 being in meshing engagement with a third gear tooth sector 14 secured directly, or indirectly, to a blade 4 pivotally mounted on the support plate, the third gear tooth sector 14 having a third full diameter smaller than the said first full diameter, and there being a second blade 5 secured to the support plate and extending in the same general direction as the pivotal blade.

Title: Method and apparatus for smoothing fundamental frequency discontinuities across synthesized speech segments
Inventor: TALKIN DAVID
IPC: G10L13/07
Filed: 2002-08-02
Abstract: System and methods for smoothing fundamental frequency discontinuities at boundaries of concatenated speech segments includes determining, for each speech segment a fundamental frequency contour, and the beginning and ending value of fundamental frequency. The contour is then adjusted according to a predetermined function, that may adjust a slope or an offset associated with the speech segment. This function may depend on the beginning and ending values or the length of the segment, in the latter case a longer segment may be adjusted more than a shorter one. The function may be linear, and may be derived from a coupled spring model with thee springs each segment. The first spring constant (associated with the first k(2) and second spring k(2)), may be proportional to a duration of voicing in the associated speech segment. The second spring constant (associated with the third spring kT) may model a non-linear restoring force that resists a change in slope of the fundamental frequency contour. The simultaneous equations resulting from this representation may be solved by Newton's method of finding zeros of a function.

Inventor: PEARSON COLIN ALFRED
IPC: F04B7/00
Filed: 2002-08-15
Abstract: A pump powered partly by a mechanical drive and partly by a pressurised fluid flow, in reverse osmosis and similar systems. The pump consists of one or more piston-in-cylinder assemblies. One face of each piston 23 provides a pumping action while a pressurised driving fluid flow is applied to the opposite piston face, thus supplementing the drive force applied to each piston via a piston rod. Input and output of the pumped flow is controlled by pump valves 25 and 26, of a non-return type, operated by the pumped flow. Input and output of the driving fluid is controlled by drive valves 7 and 8, which are themselves controlled by operational connection to the pump valves. The pump may use poppet valves and may have means to limit the pressure differential across the pump, such as pressure relief valves, an elastic connection 14 between the piston and piston rod, elasticity of the piston, allowing axial movement between the piston and piston rod or between the piston and piston seal 24.
